First method to find cube root of non – perfect cubes

Step 1- Find the integral part 

how to find cube root of non perfect cube

Step 2- Finding the decimal part of cube root

6 – 5 = 1 and NOW divided by 3 =>1/3= 0.33.

step 3- Add this decimal number to to the integral cube root i.e. 0.3 + 5 = 5.3. Thus the cube root of 150 is 5.3.Now the actual cube root will be 5.314 but this is an approximation method and results will be always correct to only first decimal place.

Let us find cube root of a bigger non- perfect cube number,

for example 968,385

Make triplets of numbers, Ignore last 3 numbers, now check first 3 numbers.

968 is somewhere between cube of 9=729 and cube of 10 =1000, So integral part of cube is 9.

Now divide 968/81=11.9, because 11.9 is greater than 9 so subtract it from 9.

11.9-9=2.9.

Now divide the number by 3, 2.9/3=0.9 (no need to go beyond first digit because method is not accurate beyond first digit and we can’t waste time)

now after adding with integral part 9+0.9=9.9.

So cube root of 968,385 will be close to 99. But from this method it seems that

However this method is certainly not very elegant to present and accuracy has limits . Please let me have your views.

Second method to find cube root of non – perfect cubes

Before I tell you the second method you have to look at the following table,

1. First step is same. Find integral cubes root of which your number is.
2. Now subtract the cube of integral part from the number and suppose this number is x.
3. Divide in the number by (Addition index I) before subtracting (n-1)*Dl/100, that will be your first digit after decimal place. as easy as it gets :).

For example

Step 1- Find the integral part 

Step 2- Finding the decimal part of cube root

step 3- now divide by addition index Ia=7.6 to guess value of n

n= 25/7.6~3, so subtract 25-2*0.49=24.02

Step 4-divide 24.02 by addition index

24.02/7.6= 3.16

so decimal part is0.316 which is lot more accurate. Hence cube root will be 5.316

Let us find cube root of a bigger non- perfect cube number,

for example 968,385

Step one will remain same,968 is somewhere between cube of 9=729 and cube of 10 =1000, So integral part of cube will be between 90 and 100.

Step 2- Finding the decimal part of cube root

A perfect cube number,  that you can write as a product of three equal factors of natural numbers.
perfect cube K=a*a*a=a³ ( a stand for integers.)

On the other hand a cube number can be found out by multiplying an integer by itself three times.

a*a*a=a³=K.

How to find out if a number is perfect cube or not ?

Before trying to jumping in for the formula to calculate cube root, we should need to know that formula can’t be used with every number but only with perfect cube of natural numbers. For example we can use this method with 5832 because it’s cube of 18, but we can’t use it with 1739 because it’s not a perfect cube.

Factorization method to find perfect cube

how to find cube root in 5 seconds

Now the classic method we learned in our school to find out if a number is a perfect cube or not is factorization. However  factorization is a cumbersome process and requires lot of time and effort. In a exam where you have to solve 100 questions in 60 minutes you can’t spend 30-90 seconds doing factorization. But some times in the case of prime number perfect cubes it is next to impossible to find the perfect cube. In order to save time we use digital sum method to determine if a number is perfect cube.

Digital sum method to verify if a number is perfect cube

Digital sum is nothing sum of all digits of a number, sum of digits of thus obtained numbers will be called digital root. note 9 and zero are considered the same numbers in digital soot. Before we begin, let us recall the cubes of first 10 natural numbers and obtain their digital sum. The following table shows digital sum and digital root of first 9 natural numbers-

As you can see that the digital root of a perfect cube is always 1, 8 or 9. So, we found our first condition

Check 1- all perfect cubes must have digital root equal to 1, 8 or 9 .

Moreover, the digital root of any number’s cube can be determined by the remainder the number gives when divided by 3:

Check 2:

• If the cube has digital root 9, it’s cube root will be divisible by 3
• If the cube has digital root 1, the cube root will have remainder of 1 when divided by 3.
• If the cube has digital root 2, the cube root will have remainder of 2 when divided by 3.

With this understanding, if we have to check whether a given number is a perfect cube, just obtain the digital root of the given number. If the digital root is not 1, 8 or 9  we can be very sure that the number is not a perfect cube. However this necessary condition is not sufficient at all, if a number has a digital root of 1, 8 or 0, that does not mean, that the given number must be a perfect cube.

Determining the Cube Root Fast

Cube Root of numbers up to 6 digits

Step 1- Ignore the last three digits of the number and compare the remaining number to the cube of first 10 numbers, choose the perfect cube which is just lower (or equal) to remaining number. This is the first digit of your cube root.

Now for the last digit of the cube root check the last digit of the cube. For example, if the last digit of the number called out is 3, then the last digit of the cube root is 7.

Important rules for finding cube root fast –

1. if last digit of the perfect cube is 0, 1,4,5,6 or 9 the last digit of cube root will also be same.
2. If last digit of perfect cube is 7 last digit of cube root will be 3, if last digit is 3 cube root will be 7.
3. If last digit of perfect cube is 8 last digit of cube root will be 2 and vice-versa.

Please see the examples in following table

We can use the same logic by using nested intervals and find the cube of larger numbers. Make group of 3 digits and apply similar logic-

Finding cube root of a 9 digit number

  x =5,177,717^1/3
take the first digit- The number x must be between 100 and 200 (100³=1,000,000 and 200³=8,000,000).
now take 5177, as we know cube root of 17 is 4913 and 18 is 5832 so x will be somewhere between 170-180. And 7 is on the ones place. so x will have 3 at unit digit.

Hence 173 comes into consideration. x =173.

Cube root of an eleven digit number

x =(23,295,638,016)^1/3
take the first digit- The number x must be between 2000 and 3000 (2000³=8,000,000,000 and 3000³=27,000,000,000).
now take 23,295 as we know cube root of 23,295 will be around 28.5, as 28³=21962 and 29³=24969 (you don’t need to calculate it, once you start practicing our guessing method you will find it very easy)

And 6 is on the ones place. so x will have 6 at unit digit.

Hence x =(23,295,638,016)^1/3

I hope this article will help you in finding the cube roots in 5 to 10 seconds. You may ask the question in comment section if you were not able to understand any part of the article.

SBI PO Reading Comprehension

based on Women Empowerment

Economic empowerment is the capacity of women and men to participate in, contribute to and benefit from growth processes in ways which recognise the value of their contributions, respect their dignity and make it possible to negotiate a fairer distribution of the benefits of growth. Economic empowerment increases women’s access to economic resources and opportunities including jobs, financial services, property and other productive assets, skills development and market information. Women’s economic participation and empowerment are fundamental to strengthening women’s rights and enabling women to have control over their lives and exert influence in society. It is about creating just and equitable societies. Women often face discrimination and persistent gender inequalities, with some women experiencing multiple discrimination and exclusion because of factors such as ethnicity or caste.The economic empowerment of women is a prerequisite for sustainable development, pro-poor growth  and the achievement of all the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Gender equality and empowered women are catalysts for multiplying development efforts. Investments in gender equality yield the highest returns of all development investments Women usually invest a higher proportion of their earnings in their families and communities than men. A study in Brazil showed that the likelihood of a child’s survival increased by 20% when the mother controlled household income.

Cloze Test- Related to Technology- ( Source- Huffington Post 2013)

Thus, it is obvious that technological advancement has failed at its mission of making everybody’s life easier, as many people are reacting negatively to it. As Dolphine Remy-Boutant put it: “It is really a paradox: On the one hand, the technology we are surrounding ourselves with is designed to give us more time for ourselves — which is something we all want. However, today, while technology is as developed as ever before, we are living in a time with the biggest scarcity of time.”
Christophe Aguiton explained this phenomenon by saying “The invention of the car allowed us to save time, when compared to walking. However, it also made us want to go further by giving us this option, so overall we spend more time getting to places.
